SplitText by variable number of backslashes DAX Measure

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Need help with my DAX. I need to be able to extract just the "Sprint ##" part from my text field

My text field format can be like any of the below examples

Team_Name\Project Name\Queue Name\Sprint 1
Team_Name\Project Name\Sprint 10
Team_Name\Queue Name\Sprint 35
Team_Name\Sprint 54

As you can see the number of backslashes changes, so I created the below code to turn the right most backslash into an "@", so that then I could use MID and FIND to identify and split the "Sprint ##" part out

IP_Sprint =

SUBSTITUTE(SELECTEDVALUE('View for PBI Report'[Iteration Path]),"\","@",
        LEN(SELECTEDVALUE('View for PBI Report'[Iteration Path]))
        -LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SELECTEDVALUE('View for PBI Report'[Iteration Path]),"\","")))

The above code works but I get the below error when I try to do MID(IP_Sprint,FIND("@",IP_Sprint,1)+1,10)

Can anyone please help me resolve the issue

Hi  @Anonymous  It seems some kind of Bug in system. Find function is working fine if we are giving optional 4th parameter for "NotFoundValue" value. Please try below. Change "-1" as per you deem fit.

 MID([IP_Sprint],FIND("@",[IP_Sprint],1,-1)+1,10) 

Thanks

Hey @Anonymous ,

maybe you can adapt this formula to your needs:

PATHITEMREVERSE(SUBSTITUTE('Table'[the string] , "\" , "|") , 1 , TEXT)

The function SUBSTITUTE replaces all "\" with "|". The pipe sign | is used as a separator by all the PATH... functions. Then PATHITEMREVERSE takes the last item, by counting backwards.

Regards,

Tom
